In the FNL First League football match held on November 25th, 2023 at 11:00 EEST, FC Sokol Saratov took on PFC Kuban. The match undoubtedly showcased both squads' potential but PFC Kuban pulled off a performance that led them to a 3-1 victory over FC Sokol Saratov.

Although FC Sokol Saratov surged upfront with a goal in the first half at 00:27:07, the PFC Kuban squad, displaying stellar defense and strategic play, caught up with an equalizer at 00:44:59. The absence of a single foul committed by PFC Kuban during the entire match clearly signifies their measured maneuvers. In contrast, FC Sokol Saratov gave away four fouls and garnered three yellow cards, one of which resulted in a subsequent red card at 01:12:24 in the second half. This could be seen as contributing to their disadvantage, reducing their team's manpower and affecting the overall team performance.

With both teams receiving a yellow card virtually together in the first half, there was tough competition on the field. However, PFC Kuban held their composure and took advantage of both the opening of the second half and the red card incident to score two further goals, leading to their inevitable victory.

Despite FC Sokol Saratov having triple the number of corner kicks (6 to Kuban's 2), they were unable to capitalize on these opportunities to enhance their scoreline. Anesthetic view of their offside statistics reflects a more strategic game from FC Sokol Saratov as they were caught offside only once during the match, compared to PFC Kuban's three offsides.

In conclusion, while FC Sokol Saratov exhibited stronger field position with more corner kicks and less offsides, their failure to capitalize on these advantages and maintain discipline on the field, reflected by the excessive number of fouls and cards, may have shifted the match's balance in PFC Kuban’s favor. PFC Kuban, on the other hand, displayed a stirring combination of fierce defense, strategic fouls free play, and efficient utilization of scoring opportunities, thus coaxing the win. Thus, discipline, strategic gameplay, and effective utilization of chances appeared to be decisive factors in the match.
